India Preview

The men in blue were absolutely dominant in the World Cup but could not cross the final hurdle, going down by six wickets against the Aussies.

India's second-string side competed at Asian Games in October, where they clinched the gold medal under Ruturaj Gaikwad’s captaincy. Their last bilateral T20 assignment was against Ireland in August, where they swept the three-match series by 2-0.

Suryakumar Yadav is set to lead the side in this series with Ruturaj Gaikwad as his deputy in the first three games. Only Suryakumar, Ishan Kishan and Prasidh Krishna were part of the World Cup from this squad.

Australia will be on cloud nine after beating India in front of a packed stadium on Sunday to add another World Cup trophy to their cabinet. But they will need to get out of the hangover and focus on the T20 series.

Like the home side, Australia have rested most of their players who were part of the recent tournament. Steve Smith, Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell, Adam Zampa, Marcus Stoinis, Josh Inglis and Sean Abbott. Matthew Wade has been given the captaincy reins for this series.

Australia last played T20 cricket in August-September when they faced South Africa and clinched the series by 3-0. They hammered the Proteas by 111 runs in the first game and followed it up with an eight-wicket win to secure the series. Head struck a 48-ball 91 in the third game as they chased down 191.

Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam has been a host to 16 men's T20 games across domestic and international cricket. The average first innings score here stands at 152.  

The pitch for this game is likely to provide good balance between bat and ball. Batting first could be tricky as assessing the pitch and setting a par target will not be straightforward.
